Three Flags Stolen In 1 1/2 Weeks, Lighthouse Point Police Report

LIGHTHOUSE POINT -- Pranksters have stolen at least three flags from flagpoles during the past 1 1/2 weeks, Lighthouse Point police spokesman Bob Carney said.

Two American flags and one MIA/POW flag were stolen from in front of homes between March 26 and March 31, Carney said.

The flags were taken from flagpoles outside homes in the 2400 block of Northeast 45th Street and the 2200 block of Northeast 40th Court, Carney said. A fourth flag was found lying on the ground near a flagpole in front of a home in the 300 block of Northeast 45th Street, he said.

``I don`t know what to think about it,`` Carney said. ``The only thing I can think is if kids are home on spring break maybe they are taking things to take back to school.``
